An easy (and up to date) way to access Twitter data with Python.
Project description
This overwrite the original code hosted here http://github.com/ryanmcgrath/twython.
Streaming API support is in the works, but every other part of the Twitter API should be covered.
mtweets has Docstrings if you want function-by-function plays; otherwise, check the mtweets Wiki or Twitter’s API Wiki (Twython calls mirror most of the methods listed there).
Requirements
mtweets (for versions of Python before 2.6) requires a library called “simplejson”. You can grab it at the following link:
> http://pypi.python.org/pypi/simplejson
Also a oauth client:
> git clone git@github.com:carlitux/Python-OAuth-Client.git > cd Python-OAuth-Client > sudo python setup.py install
Installation
Installing mtweets is fairly easy, you can clone the repo and install it the old fashioned way.
